Modern Planters for Modern Nurseries

Scientists at NASA have known for years that house plants can absorb VOCs through their roots and thereby purify the air we breathe. In one experiment, the researchers built a shelter out of completely synthetic materials that had such high levels of VOCs, people who walked into the facility immediately experienced burning eyes and respiratory difficulties. After the introduction of house plants, the levels were reduced to almost zero.
